A treat for adults as well as children
We visited here in August with 2 children , grandmother and parents. We all rode the coaster ( one of the group uses a stick ) and found it so exhilarating some rode it twice. The area itself has outstanding views and worth the trip for that alone. The ride is well maintained and at no time you feel threatened by injury. If you don't want to walk to the top of the mountain ( it's a long way ) there is a chairlift to deliver you to the top. When the ride down is over, the carriage is hauled back up to the top with you astride. There is a cafe at the top where the food is reasonably priced, and it is a great place to relax and take all in around you

Mostly for kids
In the summer season it is the one of few possibilities for entertainment for the families with kids. To get there you need to hike up or take a cable car to the top station of Dedovka, which means you ned to buy separate tickets for both attractions, one in the start station and another above. During our visit the staff was not very helpful and provided confused information about the ticket prices. I highly recommend to double check the timetable of the cable car, otherwise you will need to wait another half an hour until the cable car staff will allow you to get back to your car. I can understand, that summer season is not the main one, but a little enthusiasm and customer oriented approach would make this experience much nicer. The service was really poor considering, how much money we have spent there. The kids have a good time, but in the end the whole experience was definitely not value for money. We left with the feeling, that they just tried to get as much money from us as possible, but provided very less service in return. I was very unsatisfied.
